IL-22 promotes formation of MUC17 glycocalyx barrier in postnatal small intestine during weaning


ABSTRACT: The intestine is under constant exposure to chemicals, antigens and microorganisms from the external environment. Apical aspects of absorptive epithelial cells form a brush border membrane (BBM), shaped by packed microvilli coated with a dense glycocalyx. We present evidence showing that the glycocalyx forms an epithelial barrier that prevents exogenous molecules and live bacteria from gaining access to BBM. We used a multi-omics approach to investigate function and regulation of membrane mucins exposed on the BBM during postnatal development of the mouse small intestine. Muc17 was identified as a major membrane mucin in the glycocalyx that was specifically upregulated by IL-22 as part of an epithelial defense repertoire during weaning. High levels of IL-22 at time of weaning reprogrammed neonatal postmitotic progenitor enterocytes to differentiate into Muc17-expressing enterocytes, as found in adult intestine during homeostasis. Our findings propose a role for Muc17 in epithelial barrier function in small intestine.
